On public projects, can subsequent payment applications be submitted for processing before the previous payment application has been funded? On a current project, the County Clerk will not accept the following pay period pay app until the previous has been processed and funded. Once the first is submitted, the design professional will review within 5 business days, then it is entered into the Clerk's system for processing. They have 25 business days to review and or provide comment, which pushes acceptance of the next submission approximately 10 days into the next pay period. After several billing cycles, this time adds up to a few months of late processing. Is there any way around this or are we being misinformed about acceptance of subsequent submissions? Thank you in advance for your help.
